Of June 12, democracy and democrazy, By Chiamaka Okafor
I am reminded of how pretend jailers share space with comedians in a democrazy.
But even then, the woman in my head wonders aloud: Which laws would tweeps actually be violating? The ones in the jailer’s head or the ones that will be made to vomit what they have not swallowed? And, how does he intend to compile a list of offenders? In a dream or by climbing through his contrived ladder of illegality to peer at the ‘sin-yard’? I am reminded of how pretend jailers share space with comedians in a democrazy.

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Muhammad Musa Bello, has stated that the FCT Administration would require N2.6 billion to replace 25,462 assets that were vandalised in the territory.
He disclosed this yesterday at the Town Hall meeting on the protection of public infrastructure organised in Abuja by the Ministry of Information and Culture.
Bello made the revelation just as the Minister of Transportion, Rotimi Amaechi, said the National Assembly should consider the call by the public to enact a law making the vandalisation of railway track punishable by death.
The FCT minister said findings few weeks ago revealed that 400 foul water manholes covers, 582 storm water covers and 23,210 gully pot covers were vandalised in the territory.
